CAPACITOR ELECTRICAL CHECK
WARNING :ANY CAPACITOR SHOWING SIGNS OF LEAKS OR BUDGING MUST BE REPLACED
IMMEDIATEDLY. DO NOT OPERATE THE COMPRESSOR WITH A CAPACITOR SHOWING THESE
SIGNS.
Single phase compressors require a run capacitor connected to the run and start windings .This puts the
two windings out of phase from one another and allows the compressor motor to start. Use a capacitor
analyzer to determine if the capacitor dielectric is becoming weak, or if the MFD value has changed .If a
capacitor analyzer is not available ,use a quality ohmmeter to check the resistance between the
capacitor plates
1. Set the ohmmeter to the highest scale available
2. Discharge the capacitor by shorting the terminals with the blade of a screwdriver having an insulated
handle.
3. Place the Ohmmeter probes on the capacitor terminals and read:
A. The meter pointer moves towards zero, then gradually moves to higher ohm values ,the
capacitor is GOOD
B. The meter pointer does not move. An Open capacitor- REPLACE.
C. The meter pointer goes toward ZERO ohms and stays A shorted capacitor –replace.
4. Replace any failed capacitor with a capacitor having the same MFD and voltage rating.
